Hartford is the
capital of the U.S. state of Connecticut, in
Hartford County. It is located on the
Connecticut River, near the center of the
state. As of the 2000 census, it has a
population of 121,578, but a July 1, 2002
Census estimate puts the city's population
at 124,558. It is currently the third
largest city in the state, after Bridgeport
and just barely smaller than New Haven.
Greater Hartford is also the 44th largest
metro area in the country (2004 census
estimate) with a population of 1,184,564.
Sometimes referred to as "insurance capital
of the world," Hartford houses many of the
world's insurance company headquarters, and
insurance is one of the region's major
industries. Hartford and its environs are
also known as "the land of steady habits."
The region has a relatively low population
of adults between the ages of 18 and 25,
although Hartford itself has a relatively
young population. Hartford's West End is
home to Elizabeth Park, the oldest and
largest municipal rose garden in the
country. With Springfield, Massachusetts,
greater Hartford constitutes New England's
Knowledge Corridor.
